I Bawled

(album: At Large - 1959)

Took my girl home the other night
Got myself in an awful fight
She said, "Doux, doux, darling, won't you please come in?"
Her old lady socked me with a rolling pin

And I bawled
I bawled
Oh, mon, you should have heard me bawl
Well, I bawl when I feel the pin
I don't meet with that old woman again
Oh, yes, I bawled (I bawled)
I bawled (I bawled)
Oh, mon, you should have heard me bawl

Well, I bawl when I feel the pin
I don't meet with that old woman again
Mon, the first time she hit me, she knocked me down
Wouldn't even let me get off the ground
I tried to tell of the rules of Queensbury
She said, "Boy, cuts no ice with me"

And I bawled
I bawled
Oh, mon, you should have heard me bawl
Well, I bawl when I feel the pin
I don't meet with that old woman again
Oh, yes, I bawled (I bawled)
I bawled (I bawled)
Oh, mon, you should have heard me bawl

Oh, mon, talk about eternity
That's what that encounter seemed to me
She started to sneeze and I started to run
Gone like a bullet from a machine gun

And I bawled
I bawled
Oh, mon, you should have heard me bawl
Well, I bawl when I feel the pin
I don't meet with that old woman again
Oh, yes, I bawled (I bawled)
I bawled (I bawled)
Oh, mon, you should have heard me bawl
